Screen rotation through Nautilus scripts.

Here is how you make nautilus scripts work.

This is a script for rotating right (note-taking side):

#!/bin/sh
xrandr -o right
xsetwacom set 'Serial Wacom Tablet' Rotate CW

This is to set back to normal:

#!/bin/sh
xrandr -o normal
xsetwacom set 'Serial Wacom Tablet' Rotate NONE

I also use the following two, so I can rotate in any direction:

#!/bin/sh
xrandr -o left
xsetwacom set 'Serial Wacom Tablet' Rotate CCW

and

#!/bin/sh
xrandr -o inverted
xsetwacom set 'Serial Wacom Tablet' Rotate 3

Setting the pen button to work

As written here, in 10.04 we don't use xorg.conf anymore. We use

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-wacom.conf

instead.
And what we do is, that we put Option "Button2" "3" under the section that is for the pen, like here:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Wacom serial class"
MatchProduct "Serial Wacom Tablet"
Driver "wacom"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Button2" "3"
Option "TPCButton" "on"
EndSection

An alternative solution is to put the

# Custom wacom settings.
xsetwacom set 'Serial Wacom Tablet' 'Button2' '3'

lines into our .profile file, in our home directory. (it's a hidden file)

Ubunti 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx

Yes, I changed. I didn't upgrade, because updating was simply using up the space. How in hell is Ubuntu wanting to take up more space than 6 GB?! Well, I said no to it, and installed a completely new one, the newest one, with long term support. Now, if this works out, I don't have to change for a while.

Works out of the box:
- pen, eraser and pen button in Xournal
which I'm really happy for.

also somehow the post concerning tc4400 and ubuntu grow through the years, so now I have a larger base for support. I'll see if the post will be helpful in the end or not.

I was also pleased when I experienced the new "Make bootable ubuntu USB" for the first time. It works good.

However, still, I didn't dare to go back on 64-bit.

rar

I downloaded from rarlabs site.
The rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz was the one that worked for me.
Uncompress, go to the directory in the terminal and type sudo make
The End.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi


--> install libxi-dev package through synaptic.

Lexmark E323 Network Printer

I installed it as > Generic > PostScript Printer, and it seems to be working fine.

A fresh copy of a 32-bit Gutsy

After all, I couldn't get the java applets work under 64-bit Gutsy. As these were necessary for my internet banking I had to do something about it - I installed 32-bit Ubuntu Gutsy.

And now it works. Firefox with Java applets.
Now I'll have to try everything I tried until now again to find out if they work under 32-bit. (As soon as I get back my pen from the service.)
